Pinousse · Sep 7, 2015

Like mentionned I order that cute Faclon some days ago

Being a Falcon HUGE LOVER I plan realy cool stuff with her

I'm in the process to list all the stuff I plan for the lighting

And when I will sure of what I order exactly I will share it with you

Flashing Led, normal one, fiber optics (may have enought already) and such...

So if some of us have ideas or experience or finished models pics / videos you want to share with me I will be more than happy to read / sea it :$

For the power supply I have no restriction I can go 3V to 24V

Oh, man I'm weeping tears of joy, Pinousse!!! Do share us pics when your kit finally arrives

Hey, Jaitea, are you seeing this? A 5-footer in 1/144, finally! And look at all that detail in a tiny footprint. The force is telling me it's coming out in 1/72 as well -- no wonder Disney and Revell are all panicky and defending their territory.

I hope something gets sorted

So I have placed some order

For the base as usual simple stuff wood base painted in black and steal rod

They are actualy canibalised inner workings of DVD players:

Bend it to the shape you want and you are good to go :

I am not a big fan of concieling the power supply into the base

Via plug or accus packs because when the model is displayed without the lighting I found most of the time that the base by it size distract from the model :-[

What I go with for the base will be exactly the same as the Snowspeeder and the tie I will also use the original mounting point this time because the rods I use are the perfect size to go in^^

And I will placed one of those bad boys in one off the landing gear bay:

With this model the uggly hex ring is inside and by placing it in one of the landing bay I can have the Falcon in fly mode lighting off with all landing bay closed and no plug visible

When the time come to show off the lighting I have just to open one off the bay (not micheal) and plug my allim in

The lighting come on and for most angles the allim wire will be not visible ;D

Speaking of lighting

For the engine a combination of:

http://www.ebay.fr/itm/141608223235...49&var=440750926046&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

For the front lights:

And for the cockpit:

in green and red and:

Some things can change because I have not the kit on hands but I'm pretty shure that will work that way

Sorry for the long post :
